The One Where I Talk About My Garden

Friday night, the Anderson Soiree in historic downtown. Twas great fun –beautiful weather, live music, happy people, and pulled pork & beer on the sidewalk. I really love living near downtown… told Bobby the other day that if we ever move, it’ll be no farther than one street over, on what’s known as Boulevard. He [...]

I’m back!

Sue said that she was gonna hurt me if I didn’t post, so here I am. Nothing big has been going on — I’ve actually just been living vicariously through the fabulous recent happenings with Holly, her hubby, & their newly arrived little Charlotte. I honestly haven’t seen such a beautiful newborn since our Maggie, [...]

Hello, World

Let the Chronicles of Social Sarah continue…
Arose yesterday morning after a night jam-packed with good times.  Ron, my former boss, was the headliner of my dreams – I had actually somehow forgotten just how terrifying he could be – how his hooded eyes could look at me and I would just curl up under my [...]

blahblahblah

I’ve been an utter blob for two days now. Car’s still in the shop (hey, $600 worth of repairs takes a while, apparently) so I’ve been somewhat stranded. Of course, there’s always cleaning the house or doing laundry, neither of which require a car, but I choose to use my car-less state as an excuse.
I [...]

“The Protector” meets “The Scientist”

I’m a dork. I get excited when our bank statement comes. I love – really, truly love – balancing our checkbook. It’s just such a sense of accomplishment when it balances to the penny on the first try. I’m a dork. I admit it.
I’m also (I stick that “also” in here as though these two [...]

A rant… just a little one, promise

I’m back. Thanks for all the comments about the Beaufort pics… wish I were still there. Sigh. And thanks for sharing your Myers-Briggs types – reading about your personality quirks has been great fun! So does anybody else think it’s probably not a coincidence that almost every person who shared was an “I” (introverted) rather [...]

Happy Boo Day!

Just wanted to add a few more WW recipes we’ve tried this week. I’ve been doing better… as Susanna said, she “hasn’t even had to mix things together” to make them edible!
We’ve tried turkey enchilada pie. Tip: it works MUCH better if you don’t forget to put the tortillas in it. Also, we’ve had chicken [...]

Pumpkin Picking

Monday night, we went to buy our pumpkins, then went back to Jen & Tom’s for pumpkin pie & “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
Pictured left: The sisters three painted noses & whiskers on our faces to show Maggie how much fun it was. Yeah, she wasn’t convinced… so the little lion is the only [...]

Fun times on the farm

Yesterday we went to Denver Downs, a local farm that does a festival every fall. This is the first time we’ve ever gone… they have a complete spread, complete with corn maze, petting zoo and funnel cakes.
Here’s a photo tour:

1: Maggie’s outfit was a screaming success (literally), including a headband, pink tutu, & jammin’ shades.
2: [...]

Maggie, Bobby, & the Ice Cream Truck

One afternoon this past week, I headed to Jennifer’s to get assistance with a sewing project. I was greeted by this little welcoming committee… Check out her accessories – sunglasses, cell phone (in the front pocket of her overalls), and a paintbrush. What more does a girl need, I ask you?

She really is the cutest [...]
